Bees
Our lawn is covered (and I mean covered) with clover. When you’re outside you can hear the “buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz” of hundreds of bees. It was fun to trying to get photos of them, harder than you might think, and just challenging enough to keep me going for a while. It would have been funny to have meanderings or broncomom get a snapshot of me crawling around on the yard with my face down in my camera, pursuing bees! Or, come to think of it, perhaps that is one picture better left to the imagination?
I’m thinking Clover Hill would be a good name for my place, what about you?
Good to be Home 
Amazing photos! Love the reflection in the last one.
Clover Hill sounds regal. I love that picture of your home. The reflection in the water is NEAT, Lovely!!Blessings,Angie
Your place looks so wonderful! I love it that your kids can explore and enjoy nature. Clover Hill sounds perfect.
Oh Shanda these are marvelous pictures!!!You are going to have to publish a book of all your xanga posts,You are a gifted artist. You show us the wonder and joy of the simple, good things in life.

That must have been a sight to see. Did your kids ask you what you were trying to do? That last picture of you home is beautiful…I am amazed that there were no toys in the yard! Plus to have the pond so still to get a reflection like that is rare.
Love you a bunch I hope your back is doing better.

Oh your back must have been sore after trying to get all those bee pictures – I know just what it takes to try and get a few good pictures like that – they are lovely. Clover Hill seems to me like an excellent name for your place! I just love the American houses – they are so lovely – how blessed yo are to live in surroundings like that…seems like I will be waiting for heaven for that…can’t live like that here in South Africa. ~Colleen~
Did you use a macro setting for your bee photos?
Love it! Just how fast was your shutter speed??? Clover Hill is a lovely name. You should paint a sign for the road. 🙂 Do you have an SLR camera? You must b/c the pics are so clear and your macro is great.
Clover Hill is the PERFECT name. I love the porch on your beautiful house. That first photo is absolutely breathtaking!
Love it! “Clover Hill” We had the busy bees a couple months ago, and I tried capturing a few too =) That last picture is absolutely stunning, you should blow it up and frame it. =)
Oh I do know how hard that is. But a fun challenge to! Great job with those. And beautiful place that you have.
What amazing photos. Now you need to go looking for the honey tree.
What a BEE utiful name, it is perfect. I love the first, the last and the one of the bee with Grace’s knees in the background. Amazing shots today my photo bug friend.
How is your back feeling today? I am praying for you.
Too Funny Shan! Great photo’s. Love the knees!
I love love love love the picture of clover with your house xoxox sissy
Clover Hill is a lovely name. And it fits your beautiful haven so well. 🙂
Knees shot is wonderful.
With all that crawling around you managed to get some great shots.
